BKtomodachi Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I wouldnt keep an amemonefish in a tank of that size, but thats just an opinion. Link to comment
tinyreef Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 i agree with bk. that skunk's gonna get almost half as long as the tank itself (maybe more). a percula would be a better choice but not by much still. i'd suggest a minimum of 1-gallon for similar sized fish. Link to comment
Pili4444 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 he is setting up that other tank though which looks to be bigger than the other one so i guess if the skunk got to big he could put it in there. Link to comment
DFL18 Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 that is one of the big reasons i just got the new tank (a little over 4.6 gallons) he should be fine in there, if not he has a whole nanocube to share with another clown. i actually have a picture of the new tank with the pico behind it, and the new tanks DWARFS the pico, its a good 5x bigger.

bbkid43 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I like the tank in your new project. do you know what brand it is? Link to comment
originalozzyo Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 what do you do for heat for a tank of that size? a heater wont really work cause they are to big so is the tank just a room temp? Link to comment
ambnib Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 i have the same tank and i am looking for that same light, where could i find one? Link to comment
Daemonfly Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Dr Foster Smith's new catalog had a very small heater listed (from what I remember), but not sure of it's quality. Otherwise, not many heating options aside from letting tank match ambient room temperature. LFS in Cinci (Aquatics & Exotics) has one of these with a colder water gobie in it. Link to comment
DFL18 Posted March 31, 2005 Author Share Posted March 31, 2005 to answer some questions no clue what brand the tank is, but its totally *****ing, ill finally post pics of the whole thing diary style soon. heating wise, the light was working perfect the light fixture came with the tank and a 7200k bulb, i replaced the bulb with a 7w 50/50 made such a difference in the appearance of it. am - i got the new bulb from tongs in fountain valley for 9.99 on the new tank im running 2x18w and 1x7w all 50/50. oh, and the skunk was moved over to the cube for the time being, i think he will end up staying in there cause i cant catch him.

ambnib Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I also have the same Deco Art tank as the two pics above with the same lighting fixture, guys, does anyone know where i can get a 50/50 or/and actinic light that will fit into that fixture ONLINE like the guy did in the pictures above, i can't find one that will fit in there. it has to be like less than 5 inches i think and the regular compact fixture light bulb in there is only 7w 7200k Link to comment
DFL18 Posted April 2, 2005 Author Share Posted April 2, 2005 the brand was helos or helios or whatever, i can pick you one up if you want, let me know i go to tongs pretty much everyday Link to comment
blueram22 Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Sorry for just popping in like this but, could you pick me one up and ship it? I will give you extra and pay for everything? Link to comment
ambnib Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 YES!!!!, If you would do that, it would save my life!, i have been looking around like nuts around here and cannot find one. How much does it cost for light and shipping and i'll send cash, thanks DFL18!!! Link to comment
Sea_Of_Treachery Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Is that an aquavase? i saw one at walmart for $29.99, it included that same light and power filter. Link to comment
